Kevin Mitnick: 'I want a PowerBook'
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
January 22nd 2003
The convicted hacker and felon wants to be one of 'the rest of us'
News.com reports that Kevin Mitnick -- notorious hacker, convicted felon and ex-con --
was granted his Internet walking papers yesterday with the conclusion of his
three-and-one-half year "supervised release" following a nearly five-year stint in
federal prison. In addition to regaining his "web legs," he also hopes to land a
position at a network-security firm. In fact, he interviewed with an unnamed company
on Monday for just such a gig.
Now 39-years old, Mitnick has published a book and even has his own radio. Further to
his goal of lining his pockets via his ill-gotten notoriety, he's attempting to sell
the notebooks and one of the cellphones he used in his climb up the FBI's most-wanted
list.
"Kevin Mitnick, you've just won the right federal penal system release lotterty, so
what are you going to do now?"
Well, according to News.com, he hopes to purchase a new 17-inch PowerBook.
Editor's note: This is an endorsement worth its weight in gold. I wonder if either
Mitnick or Apple wonder consider making a "switch" ad? It's just too sweet an
opportunity to pass up... "I used to Windoze and look what happened to me! I've
learned my lesson and that 17-inch screen is worth doing time for."
